My cat's snoring keeps me awake
as does the pills gone off
this choice of non-intoxication
and hopes of a clear thought
or the fuzziness and haze
of pain numbing pills
no one has told me; yet
that without pills
the fuzzy haze of pain
is even more unclear
except only for one type of pill
said is for the rest of my life
this one; so addictive
I can't ever get off.
(Some more lines for the BBQ long poem: still need to think about these
couplets. Critical comments most appreciated. The last couplet should
get the chop, I suspect.)
